Bridgewater HallSituated on an arm of the Bridgewater Canal, the world-class
£42-million concert venue Bridgewater Hall holds over 250
performances a year and is home to one of Britain's longest-running
orchestras, the Hallé Orchestra. This architecturally striking
building can house just under 2,500 audience members and the main
auditorium is centred around a remarkable 5,500-pipe organ. The
Hall plays host not only to classical music, but has also seen a

indie artist Badly Drawn Boy and guitarist John Williams.
